(Extra) Ordinary

The first transgender actor to star as a trans character on UK telly thanks to Russell T Davies’ Cucumber and Banana, and the first openly trans actor to play a cisgender character in the world on Doctor Who, Bethany Black has made history. Ahead of the Fringe, Bethany explains why even when life is shit, you should never give up.

And then suddenly, over the last year-and-a-half, everything fell into place… Performing on such hallowed ground, does that add a pressure for you to deliver material that really works?
